to which the President who may die
was elected. This was wise and
timely measure. Then the principle OF
railroad regulation has been defined, by
the passage of the interstate commerce
bill. The country will have fair
opportunity to test whether regulation
regulates. Conservative citizens of both
parties hope for beneficial results, affect
ing the daily life and welfare of the peo-
pie, from this measure. Take this con-
gress all in all and it has dore as well,
perhaps, as any of its predecessors, and
if there are regrets that it failed to COM
prehend the needs and views of the
people in some directions, tbs at least
matter for congratulation that it was
fully up to the line of an intelligent con-
ception of duty in other and important

The discussion of the subject Of titles
was commenced In Congress before the
arrival Of Washington In New York. Ina
letter Of July, 1889, to friend in Viz
ginia, the first President expressed his
opposition TO additional title. 1t was
urged that "His High Mightiness," the
title Of the StadtholdeTs of Holland, was
his choice, but there is nothing to show
that he ever expressed such an opinion.

business either fail or take out no more

Special to the Gazette.
CLEBURNE, Ten, March On last
Saturday evening near night Mr. James
Monroe of CIeburne was offered a horse
for $50 BY young man calling himself
James Greer. Mr.. Monroe when ne pur-
chased the horse made some inquiries
about the title CT the animal, aud was
told by the vendor that if he would tele-
phone TO Mansfield he would find that the
ownership Of the horse was all right. Be-
ing suspicious, Mr.. Monroe telephoned as
directed sad discovered the fact that the
horse was stolen. The:vendor Of the ami
NAL was al once arrested, and upon his
preliminary trial this morning con-
tessed the crime, saying that be had
stolen the horse from man named Brat
ton, near Mansfield. 1t is reported that
be is g. brother in-lsw Of Mr.. Bratton, and
was of good standing in the community.
l. is thought that family troubles caused
him to take this means of getting himself
away from the responsibilities Of life.

II MAY surprise those who have given
little attention to the growing interest in
chronological study to know that one
school alone, the Massachusetts Insti-
tute, has at this time G37 students, and
that there has been expended in the cree
ton of suitable buildings S558, 625, and
more than million and half paid out
in current expenses. The Legislature Of
that state has now under consideration
the further appropriation of 100000 as
an endowment for the school. The ad-
yantages of such system of instruction
can hardly be over estimated, as the de-
mand of higher civilization is ever for
skilled labor in all departments, and
young persons can go out from such an
institution fitted for work even better
than under the old apprentice system
which is now obsolete. 1t is to be hoped
that Texas, mindful of her high privilege,
will not allow her magnificent trust fund
for the children be FILTERED away by I'M
wise legislation, and no provision be
made to thus equip her young men and
women for the battle of life.

PRACTICAL LABOR REFORM.
What tho Democranc Party answers to
True Labor Demands.

New I OH star.
! While labor agitators all over the coun-
try are dec!aiming about the wrongs of
American workmen, the national Demo
cratic administration IS uuostentatiously
going on with the work of labor reform in
Which Grover Cleveland made so great
! progress while Governor of New York.
The President has Just approved of three
bills OF great Importance TO the working
men Of the United States and earnestly
requested by trades Organizations on their
behaH. one of these Is the "ACt TO pro-
hIbit the immigration of foreigners and
aliens under contract or agreement 10
perform labor in the United States"
This law is designed, as its title implies,
to prevent the most Injurious and unfair
form of competition with American in
dustry. 1t is protection Of the right sort
protection to labor at the root of indus
try, ana 1t goes as far TO proven. fore IN
labor competition as can be done without
iufrlne on the right of immigration
in good faith.
The second labor measure, approved
by the President on the @4th inst, abso-
iute!y prohibits prison contract labor by
any person inCarCerated for violating the
laws OF the United States, and forbidS
any officer, agent or servant of the gov
eminent to make any contract for such
labor.
The third labor act, signed on Thurs
day, is less impOrtan. than the other two,
but Is still gratifying to workmen from
the consideration properly shown for
their comfort and enjoyment. 1t pro-
vIdes that workmen employed by the
United States by the day shall be allowed
full compensation for the national holi-
days, Memorial day, Decoration day and
the Fourth OF July, during which work is
suspended.
the Star reminds the workmen Of the
country that the test of true friendship
lies In deeds, not in words, and that, in
constant regard for their in erests and
lawful requests, the Democratic party
has during the last five years, ever since
the name and policy OF Cleveland became
a power in public administration, quietly
but unremittingly promoted their good by
passing and enforcing workmen'5 relief
legislation. 1t is also true that many of
the measures for which labor agitators
have been clamOring, were placed upon
the statute books by Democratic Influence
before the Clamor was raised. In the
face of record of the Democratic party
so constant and consistent, We ask what
in the name of common sense can Ameri-
can woIkmen expect t. gain By wander
ing efter strange gods or worshiping new
idols of mushroom movements that ab
sorb their spare money without any prac-
tic2l plan or the ability 20 aid them?

Many Loyee Workers Robbed and Mur-

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 5.-Iuforma-
ton obtained from steamboat men shows
bad state of affairs down the river, be-
tween this city ard Arkansas City. In
this district hundreds of men, mostly
whites, are engaged IN leyee work for the
government and the state of Mississippi
The men are paid of weekly, and every
pay day some of them 60 to the landings
to await the steamer for Memphis. These
landings are often isolated and gang of
negro pirates and thieves watch them,
and asssultiDg the laborers zoo them OF
their money, often in9icting dangerous
wounds on the victims, and it is esti-
mated that no less than twenty murders
have been committed this winter by these
outlaws, and there are at lesst 100 in

IT Is said that one of the principal OBJ
jects of the visit of the Armours to the
south was to find proper sites for the
erection of cotton seed oil mills. The
Armours, it will be recollected, are the
great pork packers Of the west, and, con-
sequentiy, are large dealers in lard. If
the enterprise is carried out, cotton seed
oil is expected to supersede lard, and Jew
and gentle, please and
dietarian, can all rejoice in the yankee
doughnut and the frying pan be exalted
from its present humiliation. A capital
stock of $4,000, 900 has been agreed upon.
and it is expected the company will build
eight mills at cost of $4,000 each.

MANY journals have exercised them
selves over the fact that st late d;plo-
matte dinner Mrs. Cleveland was escorted
by the Haytien minister. THE GAZETTE
has pointed out that although Mr.. Lang
ston represents a negro republic he is of
pure Caucasian blood, and was entitled to
the honor from the precedence granted to
seniority of service. Mrs. Cleveland thus
maintains her position by conformity to
time-honored custom, and Violates no

Ont and Put to Work.
Philadelphia Times
Philip Donaehy's big mule created more
excitement down in the Twenty-sixth ward the
other day than that usually quiet neighborhood
has known since the day away back in the sum-
or 's5. when Widow Brady's goat fell in a
sewer and seriously injured two boys from
Websters brick-yard who were foohardy
enough to go into the sewer to help the goat out.
The goat was rescued unhurt. and from that
time the story of his miraculous escape has been
the chief topic of conversation among the local
toughs sporting men and small boys In general
until Yesterday, when Jerry" long. lank,
tan-colored mule, dived down well forty feet
deep and stood on his head at the bottom until
he was drawn up by means of derrick, with
only few scratches to tell the tale.
The startling event happened just back of
Long lane. Jerry was driven by Jimmy Dough

eled by the suns of seventeen summers. Dough

Jimmy walked across the treachercus boards
and war-scarred Jerry attempted to follow. AS
he planted his front feet on the thin boards
they suddenly gave way with terrific crash
and down the mule went. head first, with
frightful rapidly, before the eyes of the
panied by unpleasant sound, caused
by the frictlan of the mules
back against the rouxh surface of the impressed
bricks Finally bis head collided against the
bottom. Then followed series of the strangest
sounds the neighbors had heard for many a day.
Jerry snorted and beloved and danced clog
or the side of the well, all at the same time,
while above his terrified driver called loudly for

The news spread like wildfre. People squares
away heard the commotion and rushed to the
spot. A crowd soon gathered. All eyes peered
anxiously down the dark hole whence the hor
ribe sounds emanated A derrick was procured
and fitted up with stong ropes Then one of
the workmen slowly lowered into the cav
ity. He carried a small lantern and the excited
spectators held their breath as the light sunk
lower until it reflected the glitter of the shoes
on the mules hind feet At the peril of his life
the daring man fastened rope around the
animals hind legs He gave a signal and the
derrick was started. AS the crank revolved the
mules struggles increased. The machinery
groaned under the strain, but the rope held fast,
and at exactly 1885 P. NJ the animals tail made
it's appearance amid tremendous enthusiasm.
Jerry was working at 2 o'clock the same after
